SMOKERS SET.

Application led December 27, 1920. Serial No. 433,351.

T 0 all fw tem' t may concer/11,:

Be it ltnovvn that I, VILLIAM H ANLEY, a citizen of the United States,and resident of East Orange, in the county of Essex and State of NewJersey, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Smokers Sets, ofWhich the following is a specification.

The object of my invention is to provide means for removably securing anash tray to its support, the invention being particularly applicable tothose trays of a readily breakable material carried on portable supportsor stands which are liable to be knocked over, causing the release andbreakage'ot the trays.

A practical embodiment of my invention is represented in theaccompanyingdraivings, in connection With a portable smoker stand, inwhich,

F ig. l represents the stand in top plan.

F ig. 2 represents the upper portion of the stand inside elevation.

Fig. 3 represents a similar view taken at right angles to Fig. 2.

Fig. 4 represents a section taken in the plane of the line IV-IV of Fig. l.

The upright o1- the stand is denoted by l and the recessed top by 2. Theremovable ash tray 3 is positioned in the recessed top 2 and it is heldin suoli position against unintentional movement by suitable means.

In the embodiment herein represented, I have shown diametrically opposedcigar rests e, which project over the edges of the ash tray 3 and areprovided With depending lugs 5 for preventing the unintentional releaseof the ash tray 3.

One or both of the cigar rests, in the prescnt instance both cigar restsare vertically yielding and rotatable to bring them into and out oflocking engagement with the ash tray. This is provided for in thepresent instance by projecting the swivel pin 6 of the cigar restdownwardly through the top 2 into a recess 7 Where a spring 8 isinterposed between the head of the pin and t-he bottom of therecess, acollar 9 being locatedv between the bottom of the rest and the top 2 ofthe stand. The top 2 Which forms the support for the ash tray may alsobe provided With a match box holder 10.

When it is desired to release the ash tray,

one or both of the cigar rests may be raised against the tension of thespring 8 to cause the depending lug 5 to clear the top of the tray. Thecigar rest may then be rotated suilicient to permit the free removal ofthe ash tray.

It will be noted that one or more of theseV yielding cigar rests may beprovided for securing the tray to its supportghence I do not Wish tolimit myself to -tvvoyielding cigar rests as herein shown and described,nor do I Wish to limit myself to the particular means vfor yieldinglyholding the cigar rests in their locking position.

Vhat I claim is zl. An ash tray, a support therefor, and cigar restsmounted on the support and projecting over the edges of the tray forsecuring it to its support, one or more of said cigar rests beingmovable to release the ash tray.

2. An ash tray, a support therefor, and cigar rests mounted on thesupport and projecting over the edges of the tray for securing it to thesupport, one or more of said rests being rotatable to release the ashtray. p

An ash tray, a support therefor, and cigar rests mounted on the supportand projecting over the edges of the tray for securing it to thesupport, one or more oi' said rests being vertically yielding androtatable to release the ash tray.

4. An ash tray, a support therefor. and cigar rests mounted on thesupport and projecting over the edges or" the tray for securing it tothe support, one or more oi? said holders being movable torelease 'thetray and being provided With a depending lug projecting below the edgeof the tray to prevent the unintentional movement of `the i. rests. y
